What We Ate Wednesday 8/15/12: Ladies Night!

Tonight was my bi-weekly ladies night dinner. My besties came over and we grilled garlic and curry chicken, and grubbed on a giant salad, shrimp cocktails, berries, handmade dark chocolate, and some coconut rum. Life is good!

Dark Chocolate Squares:

2 squares Baker's 100% chocolate

3 tbs coconut oil

2 tbs honey (to taste)

1 tsp vanilla

A pinch of sea salt

In a double boiler (or a soup can in a pot with boiling water), melt 2-3 large squares of Baker's 100% chocolate, unsweetened.

Add other ingredients and mix together as the chocolate melts. Pour into foil molds (or ice cube trays) and freeze until solid. 

Coconut Curry Marinade and Sauce:

In a small soup pot, combine 1 1/2 coconut milk, 1/2 cup or so almond butter, curry power, and chili pepper to taste. Add arrowroot powder to thicken, stir slowly and simmer 10 minutes.
